• The antenna is mounted directly using screw fitting. If using stub and adapter,
procedures can vary slightly.
• When using the pole with stub, ensure that the antenna and the screw-to-stub
adapter slide down the full length of the stub before tightening the locking ring. An
incorrectly mounted antenna will have a direct effect on the results.
• Aluminium poles are used. They can be replaced with their carbon fibre equivalent
without any change to these instructions.
• Standard radio is used throughout the instructions. Digital cellular phones can also
be used but the setup can differ slightly.
